Hi,

For those on Linux, you can alter the Look and Feel to correspond to
the Gtk settings.

Gtk settings apply to Gtk/GNOME applications/desktop, but they are
used when you select 'Gtk' from the Look and Feel submenu in the
Settings menu of OmegaT+. Using the Gtk change theme application in
your Linux distribution (most likely in the Tools menu of the desktop
and named gtk-chtheme) you can tweak the look to your desired
settings.

There is also the possibility to add in more themes apart from the
defaults. For instance, their is a well known theme originally made
for KDE called QtCurve that can be installed and selected within the
same tool. This will give OmegaT+ something of a Qt/KDE look.

On my Linux distribution (Mandriva) I had to install the RPM packages
for
qtcurve-gtk2 and its library libqtcurve-gtk.

You have to restart OmegaT+ if you decide to change between themes in
gtk-chtheme for it to work.

Happy translating!

Raymond
